The following note on the rocks of the shore-line of part of the Gold Coast Colony are a result of a short journey I undertook there in 1910. On that occasion I landed at Cape Coast Castle and travelled westward, staying successively at Elmina, Chama, and Sekondi.

page 266 note 1 In 1908 the Prah broke through the strip of sand which, as in many West Coast rivers, extended almost entirely across its mouth and enclosed a lagoon. When I saw it in the spring of 1910 this had been repaired by the building-up action of the surf and stood some 15 feet above sea-level.
